33 - Cooking Blindfolded? No Thanks — Why Allergies & Intolerances Can Make or Break Your Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Here’s an uncomfortable truth:
clients don’t always understand their own allergies—and that gap becomes your responsibility.
In this episode of The Become A Personal Chef Podcast, Louie Montan breaks down why allergies and intolerances are one of the most dangerous blind spots in personal cheffing, and how guessing—even with good intentions—can end a business overnight.
You’ll learn:
- Why clients often give incomplete or misleading allergy info
- The critical difference between allergies, sensitivities, and preferences
- How calm, detailed questions build trust—not discomfort
- Why documentation protects you legally and professionally
- Why one bad allergy incident doesn’t slow a business—it ends it
This episode is for chefs who want to cook with confidence, protect their reputation, and never gamble with client safety.
Because guessing isn’t a culinary technique.
It’s a liability.
🎧 Listen in—and stop cooking blindfolded.
